LOWELL, Mass., May 29 (UPI) — A Massachusetts teenager injured in the Boston Marathon bombings was crowned prom queen by her class.
Sydney Corcoran, a senior at Lowell High School, was injured along with her mother, Celeste, in the April 15 bombings. She was crowed prom queen at the dance Tuesday night, WBZ-TV, Boston, reported Wednesday.
“I know that I can’t dance with them but just to be back with my friends from high school, I haven’t seen them in over a month so I’m happy to go tonight and see everyone,” said Sydney, who is recovering from shrapnel injuries.
